Independence Blue Cross Nurse Scholars Program
Purpose
Independence Blue Cross (IBC) and the Foundation recognize that the shortage
of nurses is not limited to direct patient care professionals. The need
to increase the number of graduate students who will be qualified to become
nurse educators, in order to train the next generation of nurses, is also
an important piece of the puzzle in reversing the nursing shortage.
Overview
The IBC Nurse Scholars Program provides financial assistance to graduate
nursing students who are pursuing an education that will qualify them
to become a nurse educator. The program will underwrite scholarship funding
for schools to qualified students attending an accredited graduate nursing
program in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
The Nurse Scholars Program will give nursing students the opportunity to receive grants and scholarships toward their graduate degree directly from the qualified nursing schools they attend. For complete eligibility requirements, contact your school’s nursing department. If you have additional questions, call the Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation at 800-377-4502.
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation administers
and is a contributor to the Independence Blue Cross Nurse Scholars Program.
